I love this channel. It's wonderful to hear about the history that I feel has been covered up in modern times. Thank You , from a descendant of the people of Bovino, Italy (Liberated by the Norman Knight , Drago) The castle that he commissioned still stands in Bovino today.
The Norman history is amazing. Please make videos about the normans in the iberian reconquista, like Roger de Tosny and the Crusade of Barbastro(Nobody in the internet talks about this subject).
I dont usually comment but, id like to say how imformative these remarkable history lessons these are. I have enjoyed my kids learning and loving history as a subject, just wanted to say thanks and you make a difference, please keep it up.
DO THE NORMANS HAVE A PLACE IN THE HOLY BIBLE, ????? IT WOULD STAND TO RESON IF THEY WERE MARCHING FOR THE CRUSADERS THAT THEY WOULD BE THE HOLY KNIGHTS,QUESTION?? SO WHAT PART OF THE BIBLE ARE THEY IN???HELP, SOMEONE!!!!😇😇😇😇👍👍👍🤔🤔
Gave* a like before watching. Because this is the real deal. Facts are correct and the information is given so easily that even a rock would understand this. Hell yeah keep them coming. You are the man!
This was a fascinating analysis. Attempting to understand religious motivation in violence through a modern secular lens is so difficult and often leads us to assume a false dichotomy between earthly and sacred motivations. Your hypothesis of the Normans of that period envisioning God as a feudal Lord is incredibly thought provoking. Bravo!
Thanks Andrew! It's nothing I came up with though, historians have been discussing it for a while. It is fascinating and it's important for us to try to get out of our own era mentally when trying to understand people from the distant past.

Very good, helps to explain why judging historical periods and persons according to modern values cuts us off from history and what can be learned from it.
Christianity in the middle ages was one of the major factors that defined the identity of most Europeans. Religion was a huge part of everyday life. Even those that weren't religious definitely encountered it daily as God was the ultimate authority in the eyes of all both peasant and nobility. They definitely understood self sacrifice as being the most noble and highest expression of love; as Jesus said, 'Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends'(John 15:13). The first Normans that ventured to the Levant did so as pilgrims before mercenaries. So I believe the initial motivations of the earlier Normans came from noble intentions combined with the rise of knightly values. Ultimately I'd say it was a split among those that did it for righteous reasons like Robert Curthose, and those like Robert Guiscard that did it to be opportunistic; and they all used the name of God as justification.
I would love to do a video with you about some of the history that hasn't been spoken about which actually occured with my ancestors that many people don't realize or even know about bc it would shake the Catholic Church to it's bones they have much explaining the Frank's and Normans were so much more than people know. I have NEVER spoken publicly about it but I think it's time
A previous video you mentioned using video games for some aesthetic stuff in your videos. A suggestion is Kingdom Come Deliverance it is set in the middle ages covers Bohemia under Wenceslaus IV and Sigismund It has good aesthetics that are supposedly authentic too.
@Anita McGuire I never say women can't commit adultery. It just that it appear as if men can sometime get away with it or receive less punishment. Especially kings.
@Anita McGuire I said Great Pox... as a stand-in for any veneral disease, not necessarily syphilis in particular. Or do you wish to claim there were no veneral diseases back then because everybody was noble and pious as our host tends to suggest in all his videos.
@Anita McGuire BTW, that European conquest of America spread disease (in both directions) is not a "myth of anti-colonialists" it's a historical fact. Try as hard as you might, you can't deny that it happened, and who infected whom could be described as pathetic hair splitting of the neocolonialist bitches (is that a thing? I didn't even realize before running into this channel).
What I like about you compared to other channels is you provide sources, and even show where to find the original sources. You're not just some sell out like YOU CAN FIND IT ALL HERE AT MEGELLEN OR THE GREAT COURSES Its like check out these original sources and these authors comments on them. Like these videos/podcasts feel so much more scholarly then that bogus school portal they try to indoctrinate you with in TGP They do this hand pyramid it looks so scripted and shady lmfao Often the greatest stuff comes from train of thought and tangents. Shows you really know your stuff, not just some tuxedo tie wearer reading verbatim from a script.
..thats like saying why did justinian invade germanics lol byzantine wasnt wests friend, just business allies at times. Guy byzantine fought at 1181, Bohemond was same guy alexios met in his castle to welcome and greet him for first crusade just 20 years later. Business
He wanted land for his son, all his inheritance went to his son roger Borsa, son of his second wife sychelgate. Not for these sons to kill themselves for the inheritance, he wanted land for bohemont Funny fact: bohemont became more powerful than roger Borsa despite his heritage.

So how is the translation going along?

The Normans were really the core of the Crusaders, even before the Crusade

Very good quality commentary, thank you ‘Real Crusades’. Teza from Sydney Australia

Very important issue addressed! Keep up the good work!
Thanks RCH for your awesome content.
Thanks for a great talk.
One of your Best to date.
many do miss the format... and the original jingle
Wow. The ones i love. Me and my family prefer this format. Thanks.
Superb video Stephen 👌
Hey!! Awesome 👍
Thanks for the great content🙏🙏
Dude I love your channel it teaches me a lot
Deep & thought provoking, thank you ! Oh love that castle too !
I enjoy the conversational tone you have in this video.
Well done. I think the key point is NOT to look at this with 21st Century eyes, It is hard but we must try to be open minded. Again well done!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Who did the artwork in the thumbnail. Awesome work. Reminds me of the great Angus McBride
Bought a Hospitaller and Templar T just now, first time purchasing off a UA-camrs T spring
hey Robert I was just wondering if you were a catholic? , great content btw as well. I really enjoy it
It's hard to truly get into someone's head, but it is fun to play detective.
I would love to do a video with you about some of the history that hasn't been spoken about which actually occured with my ancestors that many people don't realize or even know about bc it would shake the Catholic Church to it's bones they have much explaining the Frank's and Normans were so much more than people know.

It has good aesthetics that are supposedly authentic too.
But it’s after the Crusader era
Please do a segment about Gualdin Pais. First Templar Mestre in Portugal.
What is the significance of the picture of Roger with a harp on his back? Doesn't seem like a very useful weapon on the medieval battlefield.
No views and three likes after 35 seconds of being released. Slow down, those of you who can patronize RCH!
The Muslim prince that the normans allied themselves with in Sicily, how long did that last, did the normans want him gone and take his lands later?
Have you done any work on how crusaders fasted during Lent?
Love my history..
Did people at the time believe in divine right of kings?
There was definitely a sense among many peoples that a king's authority did basically radiate from God.
@@RealCrusadesHistory Why monarchy so common in medieval era? I know not all state was monarchical like the Venice.
Do medieval men get punished for adultery?
Of course, they got the Great Pox.
@Anita McGuire I never say women can't commit adultery. It just that it appear as if men can sometime get away with it or receive less punishment. Especially kings.
@Anita McGuire No syphilis until 1492? Why?
@Anita McGuire I said Great Pox... as a stand-in for any veneral disease, not necessarily syphilis in particular. Or do you wish to claim there were no veneral diseases back then because everybody was noble and pious as our host tends to suggest in all his videos.

So medieval times they called God "my Lord" they meant it literally?
i think they were natural warriors molded by supernatural faith. without faith they wouldve devolved into infighting
Why did the Normans invade Byzantium in 1081-1085? It seems to me their goal in that war was wealth.
Wealth and power, and also their famous thirst for adventure. But that's just one of many many campaigns.
..thats like saying why did justinian invade germanics lol byzantine wasnt wests friend, just business allies at times. Guy byzantine fought at 1181, Bohemond was same guy alexios met in his castle to welcome and greet him for first crusade just 20 years later. Business
He wanted land for his son, all his inheritance went to his son roger Borsa, son of his second wife sychelgate.
Not for these sons to kill themselves for the inheritance, he wanted land for bohemont
Funny fact: bohemont became more powerful than roger Borsa despite his heritage.
